Who has taken Mesut Ozil’s crown as the Premier League’s new assist king?

Mesut Ozil’s title of Premier League assist king is under serious threat.
The Arsenal midfielder is yet to register an assist this season, leaving the door fully open for the likes of Manchester City’s chief string-puller Kevin De Bruyne, who currently leads the way with four so far.
Ozil has created 13 chances for his Arsenal team-mates in the Premier League this campaign, the same amount as Dele Alli, Oscar, and, surprisingly, Swansea City’s Wayne Routledge, who has played only 336 minutes.
